Platinum futures plunged below psychological $1,000 level as  top consumer China continued to grapple with rising Covid cases which made the possibility of an economic reopening more uncertain, thus clouding the outlook for demand. On the other hand, the market deficit may increase to 219,000 ounces in 2023, compared with a 974,000 ounces surplus in 2022, according to data from the World Platinum Investment Council. Beyond the decline in global supplies was persistent uncertainty surrounding Russian exports. Russia is the world's second-largest platinum producer after South Africa.
